RIGHT / LEFT INNER THIGH: 1. when there is a lack of stabilization, this muscle group (adductor) will over-activate to help stabilize the low back and pelvis… which can lead to lower back pain and an overall lack of mobility 2. over activating the adductors can also cause tightness / the muscle to shorten, which the roll machines can help loosen and lengthen 3. using the Body Roll machine on the inner things helps with overall mobilization, which in-turn, helps to protect your lower back

This is why it’s incredibly emotional for us to announce today that we will be closing our Opening Ceremony retail locations sometime in 2020. We’ve made a decision to focus on growing Opening Ceremony collection and brand with our new partners, New Guards Group, and expand the designs of Opening Ceremony. Our brand takes the beautiful spirit of experimentation, fun and collaboration embodied in our stores and imbues this energy into the clothing we make. We know our decision may surprise you and it may be interpreted in many different ways. Ultimately, in this time of immense change in the way that people shop, we still believe in the power of passionate and unique retail. But we also believe in the necessity for change, reflection and an opportunity to refresh. This is a moment of transition for Opening Ceremony and, together with our new partners, we are taking the chance to step back and evaluate the future of our Opening Ceremony retail experience. We are stepping back from multi-brand retail, for a moment, so we can come back with an experience that is just as inspiring, filled with love and relevant for the years ahead as Opening Ceremony has been.
